Paint-O advertisement:
Our Eco-paint line of paint products has the fewest volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of all our paints. Consequently, our Eco-paint is one of the most ecologically responsible paint lines on the market today.

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument in above advertisement?

* (A)The Environmental Protection Agency listed many other paints with more VOCs than Eco-paint.
* (B)In recent months, Paint-O has sold more Eco-paint than it sold any of its other lines of paint.
* (C)Paint products made by Paint-O generally have more VOCs than paint products made by other companies.
* (D)White and red paints usually have more VOCs than other colors.
* (E)Paint-O introduces a new line of paint products every six months.
